One of my favorite comfort foods!

Hot Corned Beef on Challah Bread with a little Mayo and Mustard.

you can get them at some french bakeries, like the champagne bakery chain.

i usually make them like so:

2 slices white bread (sometimes, i use brioche bread)
french ham (trader joe's used to have some great madrange ham, black forest will do though...)
a few slices of gruyere

fry both sides of sandwich in butter until golden brown

top one side with bechamel* sauce, then grated gruyere

broil until the cheese on top browns and bubbles a bit.


(*bechamel sauce = melt a tbsp butter in a pot over med-low heat, add tbsp flour, mix until smooth, add about 1/2 - 3/4 cup of milk... i usually eyeball it so it's not exact, pinch of nutmeg, pinch of salt, pinch of white pepper, optional add grated gruyere and stir until blended & thickened)
it's basically like the sauce you make for casseroles or homemade mac n cheese.

A New York style Roast Beef, Provalone on Rye loaded with yellow mustard and mayo.

God I miss NYC food.....

:(

black forest ham with everything except pickles at Roma Deli in NoHo

They just got a panini machine up the street and that thing makes the best crunchy sandwiches.
